Description

Supernovas blaze in the night sky, but the gaming world is abuzz over a new virtual reality console. Jacob Lessard, developer of the Penta device, promises a neural experience more “real” than reality itself. But what does it truly mean for something to be real?

When Lilya arrives at InterMense to beta test the Penta, she expects to spend the weekend battling her social anxiety in exchange for the opportunity to enter the Vitalia simulation. But when Ben, another tester, refuses to leave the world of Vitalia, endangering his life, Lilya sees that she has become involved in something much more eye-opening than she realized. As Lilya, Ben, and Jacob’s fates intertwine, they must make some of the hardest decisions of their lives, and confront their own perceptions of the nature of existence.

Description

Known for his tech brilliance, Jacob is in his late twenties and living in Toronto, where he has thrown himself headlong into developing the Penta. Jacob is cold, confident, and reserved, and only seems alive while logged into Vitalia, the Penta’s flagship simulation.

Raised in an affluent but neglectful household, Jacob has always had trouble connecting with others. His natural tendency for aloofness and strange flashes of genius have pushed most people away from him. His groundbreaking work in virtual reality has become his only safe refuge, and the sole focus of his life.

Lilya is in her early twenties, disillusioned, and sporadically attending a community college.

Cautious and untrusting, Lilya manages her tendency for social anxiety by spending most of her time online, in virtual reality.

In the popular virtual reality MMO Full Realms, Lilya is “Lillight,” a badass, ultra high-level lightning mage. Her MMO buddies are her closest friends, although she’s never met them irl.
